Will you miss not seeing the Class 1A Division II state high school basketball championships being hosted at Gross Memorial Coliseum on the campus of Fort Hays State University this year? (FHSU and KSHSAA has decided to relocate this year's tournament to Dodge City since the FHSU women have the possibility of hosting an NCAA Division II regional tourney.)

American women are blessed with not only prosperity and comfort, but also religious freedom to meet together for encouragement and also to have tea. Now it's time for all American women to share these blessings with other women around the world, and the "Simply Sisters" movement is doing that, simply by hosting tea parties.

Sheila Shields, the creator of this movement, will be in Hays to include local congregation members as sisters and relay information on blessing the women of other nations. She will host a tea party at 3 p.m. Oct. 12 at Liberty Foursquare Church, 120 W. Ninth. Come for encouragement, but also for information on hosting a "Simply Sisters" tea in a country of your choice.
